Privacy Policy
Effective October 9, 2026. What Athena learns about you stays between you and Athena unless you say otherwise.
What we collect
Your account details, the profile you share, your conversations with Athena (voice is transcribed to text), photos you upload, your general location derived from a ZIP code, and purchase records.
How Athena uses it
To understand you, to decide whom to introduce you to, and to support you once introduced. Sensitive attributes (ethnicity, religion) are stored only with your explicit consent.
AI processing by OpenAI — what is sent, and your permission
Athena's reasoning and voice run on OpenAI's models, so to talk with her we send OpenAI: what you say or type in conversations with Athena (voice is streamed live during calls), the profile details and preferences you share with her when she is reasoning about you or writing you a note, your verification selfie (compared with your profile photos), and your requests when she plans an itinerary. We do NOT send your password, payment details, email address, phone number, exact location or ZIP code, or your private messages with other members. We ask for your permission on a dedicated screen before your first conversation; without it Athena cannot talk with you, though you can still browse the app. OpenAI processes this data under its business API terms: it does not use it to train models and retains it only briefly for abuse monitoring (up to 30 days) before deletion. Nothing is stored at OpenAI long-term; your records live in Athena's own database, and deleting your account removes them (purchase records held by Apple or Google are theirs, not ours).
What other members see
Your first name, age, general area, photos you choose, and Athena's own words about you. Never your conversations, ZIP code, email, or exact location.
Who else processes your data
Supabase (our database and sign-in), RevenueCat with Apple and Google (purchases and subscriptions — we never see your card), Google Places and Ticketmaster (only the wording of a plan request, never your identity, when Athena looks up places or events for an itinerary), Resend (transactional email), and Cloudflare (our website). Each receives only what its function requires and is bound to protect it to the same standard.
Your rights
You can read what Athena understands about you, correct it in your own words, withdraw consents, export your data by request, and delete your account at any time.
